I enjoy this way of eating and have done well with it so far. My 20% is alcohol and the occasional night out up way later than I should have been. I bet that is what did it. It's "just a cold" for me means I have to take time off work since being in the health industry no one wants to workout with a trainer that is sick. So colds = less money. I think for that, I am entitled to complain. Also, I didn't realize that the longer your doing this meant it was more ingrained in your body, one month might not seem long, but my body already rejects deviations such as too much sugar if I have a treat too big or sweet or anything bread or pasta like.

Maybe you'll get well faster? That might be your measurable health benefit from Primal Living right now.

Don't give in to comfort SAD food and stay hydrated. Well rested. I actually benefit from exercise if the cold is in my head. If it is in my chest then I tend to avoid it.

I think I've mentioned this 100 times over the past week: North American Herb & Spice Wild Oil of Oregano works wonders for me! 2 capsules/day when I feel an illness coming on will usually either wipe it out completely or make the course shorter.

Feel better! Make a long, whiny rant to us and get it out of your system. I hope you don't have kids to take care of, too. That stinks when you feel like crap. ~Pam

I suspect that Pilatesmom cheated, and thus is suffering the consequences of betraying the primal lifestyle. You can only avoid getting sick by being 100% compliant. You must confess what you ate in detail. If you confess, then we will allow you to live.

Don't you know, like, I went Primal and like I didn't get any zits and like my dog learned to walk himself, I won the Lottery and like Primal made me popular and all my hair grew back and being Primal made me stop needing to bathe and one time at band camp.....

Primal is not a silver bullet. Live healthy live strong. Go Primal, and like wipe your nose and wash your hands.
